This High Protein Overnight Oats recipe is a nutritious, vegan, and protein-packed breakfast option that requires no protein powder. Combining rolled oats with hemp seeds, chia seeds, almonds, peanut butter, and soy milk, this easy make-ahead meal is sweetened naturally with maple syrup and enriched with dark chocolate chips for a delicious and energizing start to your day.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Overnight Oats Base

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/4 cup soy milk (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, hemp seeds, chia seeds, chopped almonds, soy milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate chips thoroughly. Use a spoon to ensure the peanut butter is fully dissolved and evenly incorporated into the mixture.
  2. Refrigerate to Rest: Cover the container securely and place it in the refrigerator to rest for at least 3 hours. Resting time can be adjusted according to preference; a longer resting time results in thicker, creamier oats.
  3. Serve and Customize: When ready to eat, stir the oats and add extra soy milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with fresh fruits or more nuts if desired to enhance flavor and texture. This recipe yields two servings or one large portion.

Notes

  • Adjust maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with agave syrup or honey if not strictly vegan.
  • For a nut-free version, replace almonds and peanut butter with sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter.
  • Use gluten-free rolled oats if you require a gluten-free recipe.
  • To boost protein further, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed or additional hemp seeds.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
